Mixed Effects of Soil Compaction on the Nitrogen Cycle Under Pea and Wheat [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Soil compaction caused by highly mechanized agriculture can constrain soil microbial diversity and functioning. Physical pressure on the soil decreases macropores and thereby limits oxygen diffusion.

Soil compaction and the architectural plasticity of root systems. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2019 We present examples of root plasticity in response to soil compaction and discuss their role in plant performance. Subsequently, we propose a plastic ideotype for soil compaction tolerance.

Effects of Soil Compaction Stress Combined with Drought on Soil Pore Structure, Root System Development, and Maize Growth in Early Stage [PDF]
PlantsSoil compaction is a major environmental stress to root development and plant growth. Meanwhile, drought always results in increasing soil mechanical impedance, which in turn aggravates soil compaction stress.

Topsoil Compaction Risk Based on the Different Responses of Soil Structure to Compaction Stress [PDF]
AgronomyCompaction leads to reduced crop yields, as the soil structure is destroyed. As soil structures respond differently to different degrees of compaction stress, early warnings for the risk of soil compaction caused by agricultural machinery need to be ...

Soil compaction in timber skidding in winter conditions [PDF]
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2006 The research of soil compaction in timber skidding was carried out on two skid trails of uniform slope –15%and 30 %. The degree of soil compaction is shown by changes of water-air soil characteristics of the skid trail after a certain number of passes of

Soil Compaction Effects on Root-Zone Hydrology and Vegetation in Boreal Forest Clearcuts [PDF]
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2019 Soil compaction is a common consequence of forestry traffic traversing unprotected, moist soils; it decreases porosity and affects hydraulic conductivity even in coarse-textured soils. The aim here was to study root-zone hydrology and vegetation in three

Do agricultural grasses bred for improved root systems provide resilience to machinery‐derived soil compaction? [PDF]
Food and Energy Security, 2020 The increasing frequency of droughts and floods on grasslands, due to climate change, increases the risk of soil compaction. Soil compaction affects both soil and forage productivity.
